SABAF: Removing Strong Attribute Bias from Neural Networks with Adversarial Filtering

1 code implementation13 Nov 2023 Jiazhi Li, Mahyar Khayatkhoei, Jiageng Zhu, Hanchen Xie, Mohamed E. Hussein, Wael AbdAlmageed

To that end, in this work, we mathematically and empirically reveal the limitation of existing attribute bias removal methods in presence of strong bias and propose a new method that can mitigate this limitation.

Information-Theoretic Bounds on The Removal of Attribute-Specific Bias From Neural Networks

1 code implementation8 Oct 2023 Jiazhi Li, Mahyar Khayatkhoei, Jiageng Zhu, Hanchen Xie, Mohamed E. Hussein, Wael AbdAlmageed

Ensuring a neural network is not relying on protected attributes (e. g., race, sex, age) for predictions is crucial in advancing fair and trustworthy AI.

Trojan Model Detection Using Activation Optimization

no code implementations8 Jun 2023 Mohamed E. Hussein, Sudharshan Subramaniam Janakiraman, Wael AbdAlmageed

TRIGS delivers the best performance on the new dataset, surpassing the baseline methods by a large margin.

A Critical View of Vision-Based Long-Term Dynamics Prediction Under Environment Misalignment

1 code implementation12 May 2023 Hanchen Xie, Jiageng Zhu, Mahyar Khayatkhoei, Jiazhi Li, Mohamed E. Hussein, Wael AbdAlmageed

In this paper, we investigate two challenging conditions for environment misalignment: Cross-Domain and Cross-Context by proposing four datasets that are designed for these challenges: SimB-Border, SimB-Split, BlenB-Border, and BlenB-Split.

Arabic Scene Text Recognition in the Deep Learning Era: Analysis on A Novel Dataset

2 code implementations IEEE Access 2021 HEBA HASSAN1, Ahmed El-Mahdy, Mohamed E. Hussein

Therefore, we use our new dataset to evaluate the problem of Arabic scene text recognition from three perspectives: (1) using deep learning techniques and studying their suitability for Arabic scene text recognition, where we identify essential components required for the model to obtain good performance; (2) identifying Arabic text challenges that differ from Latin text and require special attention; (3) investigating a bilingual model that concurrently deals with Arabic and English words, since Arabic text is usually found along with other languages.

MUSCLE: Strengthening Semi-Supervised Learning Via Concurrent Unsupervised Learning Using Mutual Information Maximization

no code implementations30 Nov 2020 Hanchen Xie, Mohamed E. Hussein, Aram Galstyan, Wael Abd-Almageed

We also show that MUSCLE has the potential to boost the classification performance when used in the fine-tuning phase for a model pre-trained only on unlabeled data.

Input Fast-Forwarding for Better Deep Learning

1 code implementation23 May 2017 Ahmed Ibrahim, A. Lynn Abbott, Mohamed E. Hussein

This scheme is substantially different from "deep supervision" in which the loss layer is re-introduced to earlier layers.

An Image Dataset of Text Patches in Everyday Scenes

no code implementations20 Oct 2016 Ahmed Ibrahim, A. Lynn Abbott, Mohamed E. Hussein

Although much research has been devoted to text detection and recognition in scanned documents, relatively little attention has been given to text detection in other types of images, such as photographs that are posted on social-media sites.

AlexU-Word: A New Dataset for Isolated-Word Closed-Vocabulary Offline Arabic Handwriting Recognition

no code implementations17 Nov 2014 Mohamed E. Hussein, Marwan Torki, Ahmed Elsallamy, Mahmoud Fayyaz

The end goal is to collect a very large dataset of segmented letter images, which can be used to build and evaluate Arabic handwriting recognition systems that are based on segmented letter recognition.
